Anthen Ryder: the slightly younger twin and the pathfinder of this cool space voyage. Fully expecting to spend most of this mission doing research on alien planets (and especially technology) Anthen is a little daunted by the leadership role. He has energy, confidence, and a personality that has always clashed with his father’s, so getting the team to trust him with such a different, new leadership style is a task. He believes the professionalism his father exhibited isn’t any good for the sort of mission they’re on, and has no issues breaking the rules if he knows he’s doing the right thing. The people on the mission with him are people that will ultimately come to trust him and vice versa, as he is willing to do anything for a friend.

Overall, Anthen is easy to get along with and has a relatively soft heart. He is quick, intelligent, and ready to face the galaxy.

 Siobhan Ryder: the older twin who is almost relieved she isn’t the pathfinder. When she finally wakes up from her much-longer-than-scheduled sleep, she is distraught about both her father and the duty set upon her brother. She has always been the mediator between the two of them, a little softer than her father but a little more by-the-rules than her brother. She finds the lack of their arguing jarring and struggles with the fact she did wake up into this new world. Perhaps in time, after healing, she will find herself getting back on her feet, but for now, all she can do is wish she could do something else.

However, Siobhan is friendly and very forgiving under her airs of professionalism. She wants the most out of life she can have.

 Guinevere T’hale: a young, shy asari who is fascinated by alien life and wants to experience it for herself. Gwen is not particularly talented in any specific field, she thinks, even after studying languages for years back in the Milky Way. In fact, she meets and joins the human pathfinder after making great strides in understanding the language of both the Kett and Remnant tech. Though she is a great asset to the team, it’s rare of her to leave the Tempest for missions; she is not the fighting kind if she can help it.

She is easier to open to people who can carry a conversation and people who have a lot of stories to tell. That being said, she enjoys the company of Liam and Drack.

 Jensin: a large, formidable force of angaran bitterness. Once a prominent member of the Resistance, Jensin was singled out and set-up by the Roekarr because of his curiosity and desire for alliance with humans. Then seen as someone distasteful from the opposing sides of his people, Jensin found himself a new, harder life on Kadara. From there, he will meet and join the pathfinder’s team, desperate to do something to help.

Personality-wise, Jensin is quick, bold and the first to take up a challenge. He loves to brag and be smug about things, possibly a side effect from being stuck on Kadara for nearly a year. On the other side of things, he enjoys writing poetry and learning about art, though he is careful to admit that his soft side is his real side. He becomes fond of the pathfinder’s team (except you Jaal) and, especially, the pathfinder himself.

 Calo Vin: after living through the revolt on the Nexus and coming out the other side as a security officer, Calo knows her way around a fight. She is also one to uphold the law if she can help it. Though she is silent and terse on the outside, internally she worries constantly about her mother and father lost with the turian ark somewhere out in space.
